Finally the wonderful Booka Brass Band are coming to Glebe amphitheatre! Last summer the band had to cancel last minute much to everyone's disappointment. But this summer they promise to make up for it and bring some rocking brass to our grass!

In late 2012 a group of students were drawn together by their classical background and desire to experiment musically. Since then their trajectory has been constantly on the rise, from the success of their critically acclaimed debut EP BBB, a sold-out nationwide tour alongside collaborations and live performances with Irish music heavyweights including The Frames, Lisa Hannigan, Jape and James Vincent McMorrow.

Off the Ground Theatre company are back this summer with 'Around the world in 80 day'

Trains, boats and steamer ships; elephants, Indian princesses and a suspicious detective – it’s the original global adventure! Phileas Fogg thinks he can travel the world in just 80 days. The fellows at the Reform Club in London disagree. On the very day that a £20,000 wager is made between the men, Fogg sets sail. Taking only his new servant for company, the pair race against the calendar, from the West to the East, taking on the world in the most literal sense. On their journey they interrupt a sacrifice, are arrested, stampeded by bison, victims of a falling bridge, attacked by Sioux Indians, and accused of being bank robbers, all before they reach Japan! Romance and adventure a plenty, join Off the Ground this coming summer to experience a whirlwind escapade, crossing every continent!
